Due to the fact that she wasn’t his wife, he didn’t kiss her
We’re relieved to hear this for the time being. Neal McDonough’s refusal to kiss co-star Virginia Madsen made fans swoon even more. It was because she wasn’t his wife, and we know you’re dying to know! For religious reasons, the celebrity actor is reluctant to get personal with women who are not his wife, as he has spoken out about this issue. Being so dedicated was a hindrance to his career in “Scoundrels,” and he was fired as a result. It seems that there were no bitter feelings between McDonough and producers when he was replaced by David James Elliott — just differences of opinion!
Quoted as saying: “Life is about respecting God and being the finest human being you can be and offering glory to God in every way you can. When you kill individuals on the screen, it’s not real. That doesn’t exist. McDonough says that being in bed with another woman is a bit too real for him, and he doesn’t want to find himself in the situation of being questioned by his children, “Dad, what are you doing with this lady?”. That’s hard to disagree with, is it?
